The Urgency of Inclusion: Philanthropy in All Our Communities Dr. Helene Gayle President & CEO, Chicago Community Trust Thursday, October 4, 2018 Reception: 5:30 p.m. Event start: 6 p.m. Newfields – DeBoest Lecture Hall 4000 Michigan Road Indianapolis, IN 46208 RSVP: http://bit.ly/LFSOPGayle Current & Recent Projects Research Projects Focused on Youth Philanthropy Projects: Types of Funders: • Evaluation of regional faith- • National Foundation based • Regional faith-based nonprofit • Scan of education based • Family Foundations youth philanthropy programs • Funding landscape for youth philanthropy Funding Landscape for Youth Philanthropy Funded by the Lilly Endowment Background Youth Philanthropy • “Youth philanthropy is the engagement of young people in voluntary giving, service, and association that serves an intended public good.” (Nissan, 2007) • Youth engagement in philanthropy is a relatively new trend in the United States, growing out of the late 1980s (Falk & Nissan, 2007) • In 2012, 23 percent of the population between ages 16-24 volunteered (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2013) Individual benefits • Increased empathy, beliefs about social responsibility, Individual and commitment towards helping • Leadership development and academic benefits • Stronger beliefs they can create positive change (self-efficacy) Organization Benefits Organization • Youth are innovative Individual • Youth are enthusiastic and energetic • Youth are potential future donors. Community Benefits Community Organization • Direct contributions of time, talent, and money Individual • Youth engagement in charitable goals promotes a cultural shift to viewing youth as assets right now to the community and society Methodology Key definitions • Youth ages 14-25 • Youth philanthropy focused on programs that encourage giving behavior • Youth volunteering focused on programs that encourage service to others • Learning to Give (LTG) Content for educators • GenerationOn Content for youth and educators Results Innovative Youth Philanthropy Programs • Break away from traditional models • Diversification • Connect with other programs “The more youth leadership and voice in a program, the more innovative, impactful, and beneficial.” Funding Models • Foundations are overwhelmingly identified as the primary funders of youth philanthropy • Recent changes • Increased demand to see collaboration • A desire to see youth lead and inform programs • Increased demand to see service learning work • New funding models • Youth giving circles • Increased local family foundation support • Self-funding youth groups Recommendations 1. Highlight the measurable outputs available to assess the outcomes of funding (e.g. number of lesson plans created, assessment of student learning, number of educators trained at professional development trainings). Funders require measurable outcomes to justify their funding choices. 2. Work with local organizations to develop shorter, more targeted trainings. Local organizations have expressed an interest in 9-10 month curriculum and funders are more likely to fund organizations within their own geographic area or geographic area of focus. 3. Frame the benefits of your program in the larger conversation about current, controversial issues (e.g. declining empathy among youth). Funders are more likely to take “risks” if the grant lines up with current issues. Tiara Dungy Doctoral Student, Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy Don (na) Qxuiote Meliorist With the magic of Power Point, I will simultaneously explain my experience as a doctoral student in Philanthropic Studies and share tips from the field on how to teach philanthropy to youth. Serving Action: Encourage young people to serve their most immediate social circle through positive social behavior. Giving Action: The secret is out, you give! Now let the young people you influence see it. Leading Action: Challenge young people to teach another person a skill or new information they have learned. Engaging Action: Be intentional about making time to speak with young people about giving. Brea Reimer-Baum Former youth philanthropist M.A. 2018, IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy Funding Models & Sustainability POLL 1 How is your youth philanthropy program funded? (If you are involved with more than one program, chose the funding model with which you are most familiar.) • Yearly organizational fundraising • Regular (or semi-regular) operating grant • Funding from a parent organization (community foundation, private foundation, larger “umbrella organization,” etc.) • Giving circle (pay-to-play model) • Funding from approved grant proposals to one or more grantmaking organizations • Other Program #1: P.U.L.S.E. of Noble County • Funded by a private family foundation (Dekko Foundation) • Hosted by (and provided fiscal agency through) the local community foundation (CF of Noble County) in Indiana • Grant advisory board that also developed monthly service projects • 13 other groups like this, spread across four states. Program #2: phish (Dekko Foundation) • Liaison between thirteen youth boards at the Dekko Foundation • Dekko Foundation went through a variety of funding options • Annual grant application • Flat amount granted to each group • Newest funding format Program #3 • Parent organization was a small private family foundation that wanted to expand its youth philanthropy outreach • Program was hosting conferences • Directed and led by our youth team • Attended by youth philanthropists in whatever region we hosted a particular conference • Unexpectedly moved toward an indefinite hiatus • Parent foundation wished to re-strategize its future and to retain all assets possible while doing so • If you were in charge of a youth philanthropy program and this occurred, what would you do? Important Lessons Learned • No one funding model works for every youth philanthropy organization • Giving circle • Funding from another organization • “Allowance” structure • Mix it up! • Funding model should not only fit your youth philanthropy organization but should be sustainable as well • Consider an endowment • P.U.L.S.E. • Build community knowledge and excitement POLL 2 How sustainable is the funding for your youth philanthropy program? • We are set for the foreseeable future, pending any major disasters. • We are semi-sustainable but could be better. • We hope our funding strategy gets us to the next fiscal year. • We’re lucky our funding strategy has gotten us this far. • Other 1. Diversify! 2. Knowledge and approach-fulness of your organization is just as important as having money in the bank. 3. Strategize for the future you want to see for your organization.

  • Teen Philanthropists Award $33900 in Grants to Eight Nonprofits
    FOR RELEASE: CONTACT: Alex Jacobs June 10, 2016 Marketing and Communications Officer (858) 279-2740 [email protected] TEEN PHILANTHROPISTS AWARD $33,900 IN GRANTS TO EIGHT NONPROFITS SECURING THE ESSENTIAL NEEDS FOR AT-RISK YOUTH SAN DIEGO – June 10, 2016 – The board of the Jewish Teen Foundation of San Diego (JTF), following a year-long experiential learning program about philanthropy, granted a total of $33,900 to eight nonprofits working to address essential needs for at-risk youth. JTF hosted a Community Check Presentation Ceremony celebrating the 2015-16 grantees and the teen participants on May 15. During the 2015-16 school year, twenty-five San Diego Jewish high schoolers collaborated to assess community needs, learn about nonprofit organizations and identify opportunities to effect change through strategic philanthropy. As a result, they awarded grants to ELEM/Youth in Distress in Israel, Just in Time for Foster Youth, Jewish Federation of San Diego, Monarch School, North County Lifeline, Reality Changers, Voices for Children and Yemin Orde Youth Village. Notable to this year’s grantmaking focus, the JTF program officers decided the best way to invest in these organizations was to fund infrastructure to ensure organizational sustainability. “What JTF participants are doing is very smart and forward thinking,” said Jeremy Pearl, Acting President and CEO of the Jewish Community Foundation. “They are helping to give voice to the narrative that strong infrastructure means a strong organization. JTF is a program of the Jewish Community Foundation (JCF) of San Diego, which has a 19-year history of providing philanthropy education programs designed uniquely for teens.

  • 2000 Vw Beetle Radio Code the Name Eos Was Derived from Eos , the Greek Goddess of the Dawn
    2000 vw beetle radio code The name Eos was derived from Eos , the Greek goddess of the dawn. However, a limited number of base trim models were sold as models of in the United States. Unlike the Cabrio, which was a convertible version of the Golf hatchback, the Eos was a standalone model with all new body panels, although it shared the platform and components from the Volkswagen Golf Mk5. The wheelbase matches the Golf Mk5 and Jetta. The Eos incorporates into its five piece folding roof an integrated and independently sliding glass sunroof — making the Eos the only retractable hardtop of this kind. The roof folds automatically into the trunk in twenty five seconds, thereby reducing trunk space from The design of the roof system is complex with its own hydraulic control system and numerous rubber seals. Periodic maintenance must be done to keep the seals conditioned so that they function properly. Proper body alignment is critical for proper top function. A facelifted Volkswagen Eos appeared in October , and went on sale as a model of outside Europe. This facelift includes a revised front and rear fascias, headlights and tail lights, side mirrors, as well as new wheel designs. The White Night edition was a special edition with custom wheels, custom black interior and a black and white colour scheme package. Other features include black mirror covers, radiator grille and trim strips, black Nappa leather seats, door and side trim and black steering wheel with light coloured seams, trim strips and radio trim in candy white, sill panel strips with white night letters.

  • Global Youth Philanthropy Summit
    YOUTH COMMUNITY PHILANTHROPY Global Summit Report 2014 Published October 2014 For Youth and Community Charles Stewart Mott believed that every person exists in a kind of informal partnership with his or her community. He recognized that both can reach their full potential only if they are thriving together. That’s why the Mott Foundation supports institutions that help to build strong relationships between individuals and their communities. Over the past 35 years, we’ve invested more than $150 million in the development of community foundations and in community philanthropy. Recently, we supported a series of projects marking the 100th anniversary of community foundations, including the Global Youth Community Philanthropy Summit. As community foundations enter into their next century, we believe that engaging youth in philanthropy will be vital to the field’s continued success and relevance. The Global Summit provided the opportunity for young people from around the world to forge new connections, share fresh ideas and learn from each other. My hope is that this process continues. As the Mott Foundation has learned from decades of work in the field, global connections and learning definitely lead to community-level improvement. We offer thanks to the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Council on Foundations for organizing the Summit and, most important, to the participants for joining us and sharing. Nicholas S. Deychakiwsky Program Officer, Civil Society The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation The spirit of generosity and collaboration is alive in young people around the world. In convening the Global Youth Community Philanthropy Summit, we had the opportunity to capture the voices and experiences of youth philanthropy participants, practitioners and thought leaders.
